‘United’ and ‘downfall’ has a rather nice ring to it.
‘Freefall’ sounds even better.
Here’s hoping…

Congratulations to Sheffield’s top club. A timely reminder that the city’s proper footballing representatives have class and tradition, not expensive lawyers. Keep up the good work, lads. Your bid for promotion is long overdue.

Mentioning Sheffield United and recent headlines obviously rekindles memory of the Tevez affair and the apparent benefit that the “big” clubs seem to enjoy. Henry Winter of the Daily Telegraph was apparently so incensed at the technical offence involving Tevez that he gave evidence that the aforementioned was worth at least three goals and seems to claim that his contribution was a major factor in the award against WHU. I just wonder what he will say if asked to give evidence should the Arshavin affair is ever challenged. Or will Arsenal escape scot free over an alleged late deal that has raised more than a few eyebrows? I seem to recall that originally it was said that Mascherano could not play for Liverpool because FIFA rules apparently prevented him from playing for three clubs in one season. In the end it went very quiet and nothing happened. Now why do I suspect that the Arshavin affair will go the same way?

About Iain Dale

I'm a season ticket holder in the Dr Martens Lower and originally come from Saffron Walden in Essex, although I now live in Tunbridge Wells. By day I am a political writer and commentator for various media organisations including the Daily Telegraph, the BBC and Sky News. I am also publisher of the new monthly magazine called TOTAL POLITICS. I want this blog to be a mixture of gossip, humour, reporting and analysis - with the odd rant thrown in too. My other blog is a political one at http://iaindale.blogspot.com and if West Ham Till I Die attracts half as many readers as that, I'll be very happy.
